TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 11, 2008) - A correction for the Vaaldiam Resources Ltd. release that was disseminated on July 11, 2008 at 8:30 am ET. The incorrect body of the release was sent, the corrected and completed release follows:

This expansion and strengthening of the management team will include the addition of individuals with significant experience with regard to the exploration, development and operation of diamond properties in Brazil and internationally. As part of this program, the Company has initiated a hiring program for two senior operations officers who will assume the roles of President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The Company has identified and is in final discussions with two individuals exceptionally qualified to assume their respective positions with the Company. In order to facilitate this program Ken Johnson, the current President and Chief Executive Officer, will assume the role of Chairman while maintaining his role as Chief Executive Officer. This will allow Mr. Johnson to focus on the strategic objectives of the Company while allowing the new President and the new Chief Operating Officer to assume their respective functions with regard to exploration, mine development and operations.

The Company is in the final stages of expanding and strengthening management and in order to facilitate this process the current non-executive Chairman, Mr. Peter Marrone, has indicated he will step down from that role and the board. We wish to thank Mr. Marrone for his efforts as one of the principals responsible for the establishment of the Company and for his continuing support. Mr. Marrone will remain active as a strategic advisor to the Company and one of the Company's largest individual shareholders.

Announcements regarding the new President and the new Chief Operating Officer are expected to be made by the end of August 2008.

With two expanding alluvial mines in production in Brazil, Vaaldiam is South America's largest diamond producer. Vaaldiam is advancing its Brauna kimberlite project towards a feasibility study to be completed later this year, following completion of the 5,000 tonne bulk sampling program which involves the construction of a new diamond recovery plant expected to be completed in August 2008. Vaaldiam is also developing its Rondonia diamond projects which include the Pimenta Bueno and Ariquemes kimberlite clusters where over 40 kimberlite pipes have been discovered. Vaaldiam's strategy is to use cash flow generated from its alluvial mines to directly fund the exploration and development of its Brazilian kimberlite properties.
